I'm building 1/16 Dragon and Tamiya German figures to enhance my tanks while they're on "shelf display". Dragon makes the German Equipment Set but I haven't been able to find a retailer. There's no sets on eBay. And I couldn't locate any on the Net ....Does anyone know who sells them?

PM me if you have an idea where I can find one......

Verlinden sells 1/16th scale weapons equiptment etc they list them as 120mm. I like their figures. Before I build one I make a silicone mold then cast copies from urethane resine then modify them into different pose's most good hobby shops sell Verlinden products

Why not buy some of those Ultimate Soldier figures? They usually have lots of personal equipment, just picked up 3 at my local Wal-Mart for under $5 each!

Thanks Guys.....I'm familiar with Verlinden products and they ARE well made, if a bit "pricey"! Wal-Mart Canada never did handle the 21st Century line of figures and toys --these occasionally would turn up at Toys R Us ---but I haven't seen any for years. Good suggestion, Swath (and you're one lucky guy finding those figs) -- but the Dragon/Tamiya 1/16 figures are so beautifully and accurately moulded that the 1/18 stuff would look horrendously out of scale on them.

(Yes, size DOES matter here --- my HL Panzer III positively dwarfs my 21stC Tiger --- and even my WSN T-34 could roll right over their "Panther".....!

The Local Militaria Shop has all the Dragon/Tamiya model kitss you could possibly want --as long as you're looking for 1/35 or smaller. They handle the Dragon line of 1/6 Figures -- but not the 1/16.....andf their primary interest is the "static" military modeller. Oh well.....
